Wild for Weapons: Top 5 Best Weapons for Transmogrification

Armor is nice, but weapons are what truly make a WoW character shine. Get some inspiration for new weapons for your Transmog arsenal with these five weapons.

Sure,
armor in World of Warcraft is nice, but it’s the weapons that
really set the look off. With Transmogrification in full swing, now
players can change their WoW weapons to look like almost anything they
desire leaving the possibilities almost endless. One of the best
expansions for weapons was the Burning Crusade. Released during what
most consider the “golden age” of WoW, this
expansion had a flare for otherworldly, borderline gaudy weapons, that
we the player can’t seem to get enough of.

Proof of this lies in a survey
done by another WoW site which found that sixty-two percent of
transmogrification choices come from this particular expansion pack. So
with this poll in mind as I compiled my own top 5 personal favorite
Transmogrification weapons, it came as no surprise that a few of them
managed to originate from this particular WoW expansion pack. To see
what I’m talking about, and hopefully garner a few ideas for
Transmogrification weapons of your own, continue reading on for:

Mem’s Top 5 WoW
Transmogrification Weapons

Staff of Immaculate Recovery

The Staff of Immaculate
Recovery, or Priest on a stick as many WoW players call it, is one of
the best looking healer oriented staffs in game. Seriously, take a look
at the staff, Blizzard pretty much slapped a T5 clad priest on top of a
stick and called it a day. Nevertheless it works! Even though this
particular piece was released in the days of Burning Crusade, there is
few staves that can rival this in the look department making it the
perfect piece for your Transmogrification needs.

To obtain a Priest on a stick of
your very own you should first convince your Priest friends to done T5. After this is done proceed to chase them around with a pointy stick until you impale one of them. No?
Well there is an easier, but far less entertaining, route. The Staff of
Immaculate Recovery is a drop from Gurtogg Bloodboil inside the Black
Temple. Gather yourself and a few friends and you can easily farm this
instance every week until this staff is yours to hold, love, and
Transmogrify to your heart’s content.

Witch Hunter’s
Harvester

There are more than a few nice
looking pole arms in WoW, and depending on your personal taste this may
or may not be one of your favorite, but there is something about the
Witch Hunter’s Harvester that screams
“bad-ass” to me. Perhaps it’s the
coloring that so speaks to me, or maybe its just the fact that this
particular polearm is a giant scythe, exactly like the one I imagine
death would carry that does it for me. Carrying this polearm around is
sure to turn a few heads and produce a few whispers on where you picked
up such an epic looking weapon.

Want to use this polearm as
part of your
Transmogrification weapon pieces? The Witch Hunter’s
Harvester can be crafted by any friendly Blacksmith for some old world
materials including 8 Truegold, 6 Heavy Savage Leather, 4 Hardened
Elementium Bars, and 5 Chaos Orbs. Not into the gathering gig? Check
your local Auction House where you have a good chance of finding these
items, for a price, but well worth it.

Gorehowl

Sometimes simple is best and
this holds true with this formidable axe. Perhaps considered
unremarkable in the looks department by some this axe, in my eyes, has
a simple elegance that cannot be contended with by other flashier
models. Even though there is nothing significantly remarkable about
this axe, no spinning parts or huge glow, it seems to still manage to
look hungry for blood and it very well may be. Gorehowl is the
legendary axe of Grom Hellscream, giving this weapon another check on
the list of awesome and making it even more appealing to add to your
Transmogrification collection.

Want to take up Grom
Hellscream’s weapon as your very own? You will need to head
into the depths of Karazhan and take on the final boss of the instance;
Prince Malchezaar. Thankfully like most older world instances Karazhan
is a breeze for a few level 85s with a little time on their hands to
farm every week.

Jaded Crystal Dagger

Looking more like a sword than
the dagger it truly is on any character model, this weapon is a sight
to see. It is not just the size of this weapon that is impressive
however, with its spinning inner core, intriguing metal work, and
it’s own glow, this dagger just looks good which is why it
made my top 5. The Timeslicer has a similar model to this dagger,
however, lacks the compelling glow and more distinctive blue coloring.
Not to mention that the Timerslicer is an Off-Hand weapon while the
Jaded Crystal Dagger is a Main Hand which is very important when it
comes to Transmogrification.

Ready to wield this dagger as
your own? You will have to enter Magisters’ Terrace on heroic
mode. Don’t worry, this is a relatively easy task for any
level 85 and can be done in just a few minutes. Not to mention that
players will be able to try for the Jaded Crystal Dagger once a day,
unlike longer raid lockouts making this Transmogrification item easy to
get with a little luck.

Guiding Star

In every instance there is at
least one WoW weapon that upon looking at it players instantly know
that it came from a particular instance. The Guiding Star is one such
weapon. The best healing mace in its time, the Guiding Star epitomizes
Ulduar, its instance of origin. From its plant like head, its rotating
runes and even the coloring Blizzard has taken Ulduar, crushed it into
a mace and manage to make one amazing looking weapon.

To own the Guiding Star as part
of your Transmogrification gear, players must venture into Ulduar and
face off with Razorscale. Traveling into Ulduar and reaching Razorscale
is much easier than it used to be and a well equipped group of level
85s should be able to easily take down this boss on a weekly basis
until the Guiding Star becomes yours.
